Genevieve
"Genna" Galante knows a thing or two about causing trouble. After
all, it's engrained in her DNA. As the only daughter of Primo Galante,
notorious boss of the Galante crime family, her life is dictated by a certain
set of rules… rules Genna was never very good at following.

Matteo
"Matty" Barsanti never wanted anything to do with the family
business, but as the first-born Barsanti son, certain things are expected of
him. It's his duty, according to his father, to help take down the enemy...
even if that enemy means something to him.

A
chance encounter on an elevator changes the course of lives, causing the
biggest trouble of Genna's young life. The
only good Barsanti is a dead Barsanti. She's heard it said time and time
again. So what happens when she falls in love with one of them?

The
story of star-crossed lovers caught in the middle of the biggest rivalry New
York has ever seen, determined to make it… if only they can survive their
parents' feud.

Teaser:

"A Roman Coke," Genna mused.
"What's that?"

"It's rum and Coke. We just call it a Roman
Coke around here."

"Because you're Italian?"

"And because when you get drunk enough, it
all just slurs together anyway."

"Ah." Genna picked hers up, motioning
toward him with it. "So what are we drinking to?"

"Today."

"Today?"

He nodded. "Right now, this moment. Let's
drink to it."

Smiling, she clinked her glass with his.
"Today, then."

They threw them back at the same time. The liquor
hit Genna's taste buds and she grimaced, the vicious burn seeping down her
throat and settling deep in her chest. "Ugh, is there even any Coke in
this damn thing?"

Matty laughed, setting his empty glass down.
"Just a splash."

"I couldn't tell."

"That's because I prefer it that way,"
he responded. "Strong and rough, enough to leave a lingering ache. I like
it to hurt just a bit."

Oh good God. Those words sent a chill down Genna's spine,
one she couldn't hide, as Matty waved for the waitress. Eyes never leaving
Genna, he ordered another round of drinks.

"Another?" she asked, picking up the
water to take another sip, this one to soothe the sting in her chest. "You
said one drink."

A sly smile curved his lips. "I like to
keep them coming."

"Is that right?"

"Absolutely." Matty stood, leaning
across the table, his lips near her ear. "Maybe you'll let me show you
later."

MY REVIEW

Every time I find out that Aleatha is coming out with a new
novel for the Consequences series I get so excited because I feel that I can
never get enough of Tony and Claire’s story. Tony and Claire’s story is so
complex that it leaves room to add to the story. So for those of you who are
skeptical about reading another Consequences novel, let me assure you that this
novel adds to the story and is necessary! The title describes exactly what to
expect. This story picks up after the most crucial events have occurred. And I
feel that the purpose of this novel is to enlighten readers by showing us what
happened to Tony and Claire.

I cannot express how much I love this addition to the story
because it is not repetitive and the story includes many of the characters that
we have feel in love with in the Consequences series and also introduces a new
character. You will learn how Tony and Claire have adjusted as parents full
time parents to Nichol. You will also love Tony even more once you see what a
loving father he is.

Another interesting element to this story is that there is a
bit of controversy that keeps you on your toes! You wouldn’t think that the
Rawlings would just get a clean break since they have so many enemies do you?
Who can it be this time? Another thing that I love is that you will learn just
how loyal Phillip Roach is to Claire. Through thick and thin, Phillip has
Claire’s back no matter what. Roach will stop at nothing to protect his family,
I mean nothing.

If you are also wondering about Emily and John and how their
relationship is with Tony your questions will be answered. What about Harrison?
He’s in here too! You will learn a little bit about the whole gang and where
they are and what they’re doing. The story begins in December of 2016 and ends
in August 2018. Trust me when I say there is a whole lot going on during that
time. Believe me when I say you do not want to miss out on this addition.
